The Joint Services Imagery Processing System – Navy (JSIPS-N) is the Navy’s portion of an OSD/Defense Airborne Reconnaissance Office (DARO) effort
entitled Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS). DCGS is a cooperative effort between the services, agencies, and DoD to provide systems capable of
receiving, processing, exploiting, and disseminating data from airborne and national reconnaissance platforms. DCGS is further subdivided into systems which
process, exploit, and disseminate Measurements Analysis and Signatures Intelligence (MASINT) data, Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) data, Multi-Intelligence
Reconnaissance data, and Imagery data. Cooperative imagery processing systems are collectively identified under the general heading of Common Imagery
Ground/Surface Systems (CIGSS). JSIPS-N is the Navy CIGSS component.
JSIPS-N has the capability to receive, process, exploit, store, and disseminate imagery, imagery-derived products, and Imagery Intelligence (IMINT) reports
based on multiple inputs from multiple sources. The primary mission of JSIPS-N is to assist strike planners, tactical aviators, and Marine Corps amphibious
planners in the delivery of precision ordnance (including Tomahawk Cruise Missiles) on target.
JSIPS-N includes three major components:
Softcopy Exploitation Segment (SES) - consisting of the Digital Imagery Workstation Suite Afloat (DIWSA), Strike Planning Archive (SPA) and the Precision
Targeting Workstation (PTW).
National Input Segment (NIS) - equipment which processes imagery from national sensors
Tactical Input Segment (TIS) - equipment which processes imagery from tactical sensors.
JSIPS-N is onboard aircraft carriers (CV/CVN), amphibious assault ships (LHA/LHD), select fleet flag ships (AGF/LCC) and shore sites.
Secondary missions of the system are to provide near-real-time imagery and support to fleet intelligence assets, Special Operations Forces, and to support
primary exploitation and dissemination of tactical organic and theater IMINT products.
